I'd like to build a simple receiver for 20m band. Saying "simple" I don't mean a "starter project" - I've built my first direct conversion receiver for 3.5 MHz already. I'm looking for something more complicated than basic DC receiver with 2 transistors + LM386. if you already have a DC receiver, all you need to do is add a simple ladder filter to the input of the DC receiver, add a mixer to the otherside and a VFO. You will have a pretty decent superhet. Don't throw away the DC receiver, just build up a superhet around it. You current VFO can be moved up to being the Local oscillator for the superhet. Two or three crystal filter at the input of your current product dectector should provide you with bright quality of filtering. On the front-end just use a single FET with a post-mix amp. check my transceiver for the idea at http://farhan.co.net.nr. The actual receiver that served as the basis of the transceiver is called S7C by OM Wes Hayward. It is in EMRFD. You should get a copy of the book if you are serious about understanding and homebrewing. - farhan |

if you already have a DC receiver, all you need to do is add a simple
ladder filter to the input of the DC receiver, add a mixer to the otherside and a VFO. You will have a pretty decent superhet. Don't throw away the DC receiver, just build up a superhet around it. As I wrote I have DC RX, but for 3.5 MHz. What I need is monoband for 14 MHz. My RX is very simple and I am not sure if its circuit, especially the VFO will work well in the higher frequency. You current VFO can be moved up to being the Local oscillator for the superhet. Two or three crystal filter at the input of your current product dectector should provide you with bright quality of filtering.

IK3OIL has a 14 MHz QRP rig with schematics and PCB layouts, and if you
build 2 of the 3 PCBs you get a receiver. I think if you put IK3OIL into Google you will find it. -- Sverre, LA3ZA www.qsl.net/la3za "Julian Vereker" wrote in message om... Oooops! I'm not sure but probably I've made a little error writing, that I wanna buld it "from scratch". Actually I want to brew it FROM PUBLISHED PLANS. I thought a term "from scratch" doesn't mean designing&brewing. I just got know (English isn't my first language). |
